Product Details

The men's Resolve jacket from THE NORTH FACE® is constructed to keep him dry on treks when it's raining cats and dogs. A stellar rainwear layer, this jacket is completely waterproof and designed with an attached hood for extra protection in harsh conditions.

I wear this jacket primarily when cycling to work in wet weather. It is very waterproof, which keeps my shirt dry. The fit is excellent. I'm a slender guy, and it's hard to find clothes that fit well, but the size small is perfect.

I have only three complaints. First, it's not breathable. If the temperature is over 50F, I'm getting to work a bit sweaty. Second, the "Zion Orange" color is not very bright. I was hoping for something that would help cars see me a bit better, but it's a very muted orange. I'm thinking of sewing on some reflective fabric, but I'm not sure how that will affect the waterproofing. Finally, it does not clean very easily. I got some chain grease on the sleeve and cannot get it out. I tried pretreating it, I tried soaking it in dish soap overnight, and I tried rubbing it with a stiff brush.

Overall, I would still recommend this jacket to someone looking to use it in less physical activities.

The jacket needs an additional outside zip pocket at chest height and at least one zip inside pocket. The two outside pockets are of a medium mesh material and keys and sharp objects get caught in the mesh material.
